    Trac did not look happy much of the time (in Mansfield) He trained hard and well (another observation).

    Perhaps he’s feeling a tad ‘sheepish’ (but not in a conspiracy theory way) after all of the brouhaha (now there’s a word you don’t hear too often) and is keeping a low profile.

    Regardless of what he is thinking, he’ll still give his all, as he is the consummate professional; and besides, he knows that in the interests of his ‘brand’, he must perform on the field.

    Tracc drove one of the mini buses in Mansfield. He certainly wasn’t sulking in the backseat and not talking to anyone as a few on here would believe. Time to move on guys.

    So much written by so many who know so little about one player.

    I’ll give you my in-depth analysis of Trac’s psychological condition after I’ve been to training on Monday. You can take it to the bank!

    Judging from the photo gallery Day five looked like they had a big day out in their respective teams, a lot of determined looking faces and it was pretty warm conditions. The shots in the gym they look lean and mean how strong does Langford look.😁

    I really like our new training jumper.

    Hoping we can use something similar as a clash jumper next year. The royal blue clash has been in since 2018 and I reckon we could do with a refresh.

    It's awesome isn't it.

    I love it. And agree it would be a terrific clash option - except against the bombers

    It would be great if the club could interview a few of the players about the camp - maybe some anecdotes about the teams event, the school visits and even the training would be great media content.  Could have interviews with an older player, an up and comer, and a new draftee.

    It would be disappointing if the camp goes by without such content being created and shared.

    They did an interview with Rivers… but a few more would be good

    Love it.

    I do like the royal blue jumper though.

    Nothing wrong with having a few different clash jumpers though!

    Do we have anyone on the list with any serious injury concerns?…….it appears not and if that is the case we are in a very very good spot right now. Out of sight, out of the news, off to the side of the draw and fully fit. As usual my confidence is building through preseason.

    Any clash guernsey that isn't white or grey will be fine. Happy enough with our current 1975-1986 retro royal blue version though.

    Yes, grey and white are the colours of weakness and surrender, as opposed to the years at the MFC circa 1975-1986…

    Any chance we can get Neale Daniher to hide in the woods and fire a few rifle rounds at the lads to keep them sharp?

    Crazy that that was only ~20 years ago. He’d be sacked for that these days

    Not a fan of the training jumper at all but we all have opinions

    Id personally go for same colours (as home jumper) for the clash just inverted colours

    I think it was John Northey who set that up a few years earlier than Neil...had a mate hiding out.

    He almost dies, yet comes back to pre-season in the best shape out of any player on our list.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
